Ashlee Simpson defended her sister today on her blog:
"I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight. A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman's weight or figure as a headline on Fox News.
All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard.
Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend? I seriously doubt it. How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure? Now can we focus on the things that really matter."
Avoiding the fact that Ashlee was unhappy with her appearance and got a nose job and sounds a teeny bit hypocritical, we think she’s right. The obsession with Jessica’s weight is unbelievable and the comments are mean. "I'm not fat," Jess recently confessed to a pal. "Going from a size 2 to a size 8, that's not fat. If I weren't Jessica Simpson, no one would care." We’d have to agree.
Why must celebrities look a certain way? If Jessica had always been this size, would she have been equally famous? Are people trashing Jess because they like seeing her struggle with her weight as they do in their own lives?
Do we enjoy seeing celebrities falter? What do you think of Jessica Simpson’s new figure?
